its a GT3076R, 500hp rated.

i'll snap a pic of the turbo/wastegate/manifold/dump pipe combo. all the hot stuff is getting HPC'd aswell.

So when is the hypertune plenum going on? Then you will have a exact copy of my widey rofl I can't believe we are running the same turbo, engine, gearbox, coilovers and the same amount of dish :P

Coming along nicely :D

I have been researching this intake issue for the track car and recently read a well managed comparison from the US of all the aftermarket intakes available vs the stock Mitsi intake and guess what - the stock intake provided better HP all the way up to 7500 rpm when the aftermarket stuff got slightly ahead. So unless you plan on driving above 7500 rpm all the time, there is no performance advantage in going with one of the bling items (unless you specifically want the bling factor) - in fact you will be slower.

So like Dave said, the stock item is more than enough for what most of us need. A decent size T/B and good intercooler and decent diameter piping is a better power deliverer.

I totally agree with what you are saying Greg. I did similar research to yourself, and that was why i ended up with the manifold that i sold to yourself. The Hypertune was the deal of the century ($450 new, retails for $1500) so that was my reasoning (and i like a bit of bling).

Maybe we can put them on the Gtpumps flowbench for a bit of fun. :D

Yeah I have read the same results but they were just flow tests. The Stock one would get better flow sooner, but the aftermarket ones were better in midrange to high end range. But the stock wasn't far behind.

The factory don't waste millions of dollars in development for nothing. They certainly compromise but wouldn't be far off the mark. I wonder how much better the split intake with the butterfly for larger top end flow goes in comparison - do they use a similar design on the latest EVO X?

Ive heard the Eclipse guys in the US sometimes fit the split runner intake as an upgrade.

That was the deal of the century Shannon - I wouldnt have passed it up either if I was you - and does look cool

I have picked up the piping, manifold and turbo housing from Dave over the weekend ready to be coated. I will take some before and after shots during the week. It is all coming together nicely :D

Have you lined the guard rolling guys up yet? You will need to

Camber will be my friend :D

I don't think so! Come around and see for yourself. Remember that I have narrower rims and tyres front and narrower tyres rear.

They are a proven bolt on horse pwr part .
